Hey
@Transformer...my appt is set for 7/25 to install my sisterlocks. It's been a long time coming for me and I'm excited.
I'm thinking the 1st year won't be too cute for me bcuz my hair is really short now. I'm growing out a tapered cut so my hair averages from 4-6" .
When I went in for my consult there was another client there with about my length & thickness but it wasn't scalpy looking & my consultant assured me mine won't be scalpy either. I'm already collecting more headbands & wraps . My hair has always grown fast so I'm hoping in a year I'll be able to retain the 6" 0f growth our hair averages in a year. Though I'm not looking to have butt length hair . Armpit to bra strap will be my final goal length.
I always loved & did different styles so I love the versatility of SL's. I feel most confident with my hair when it's braided or kinky twisted so I really think SL's will be good for me.
I love my natural hair but after being natural about 13 years now I'm so over the product search . The de tangling , the styling , the coils all over the floor. My hair is 4bc so no matter how much advice I got here or elsewhere I was never able to achieve more than armpit length. My ends would break off no matter how much trimming , oilmixes & moisture & protective styling. I was looking at SL's years ago but always held off now I'm just over it . Relaxing my hair is not an option. I found a great consultant in NY. She's at Vanity hair studio on IG. I'm looking forward to it. I hope I feel like you after I get them cuz you know in NY they cost a grip.
Sorry so long winded
